If you want to do 5000K lighting on-the-cheap for GENERAL lighting (not
the actual viewing booth but maybe for a conference room or in the
pressroom), GE Chroma50's are hard to beat AND you can pick them up at
Home Depot in both 4' and 8' lengths. They have a CRI of 91 or so,
which is not great, so don't use them as replacements for GTI or other
viewing booth bulbs. I use them in my garage so my Moto Guzzi Centauro
ALWAYS appears color-correct when I go in and sometimes just stare at
it. I've never noticed any 1000cc V-twin metamerism with these bulbs.
You think I'm kidding?
Lastly, if I say "5000K", do I mean 5000 KELVIN or am I REALLY saying
5,000,000?? Would it be more proper (and shorter) to simply write
5KK??? This has been bugging me....all morning.
Have a nice day...and weekend.
Terry
